A Whole House Approach

The Breathable Home offers expert, performance-based, full energy retrofits and energy audits. We work directly with homeowners, landlords and new construction contractors throughout Central Maine to cut energy bills, boost home comfort, and promote healthy indoor air.

From Portland to Skowhegan, and all of Central Maine, saving energy through energy upgrades is our primary service. We are experienced in all areas of home performance, from basic attic insulation projects to deep energy-efficiency renovations. Completing approximately 100 residential home energy upgrade projects per year, The Breathable Home was recently named as the Efficiency Maine's Participating Energy Advisor of the Year.

We’ll personally ensure the best results in terms of health, safety, comfort, building durability, and energy savings by overseeing each project from start to finish. Each job includes a Building Performance Institute certified energy audit in which we follow their standards every time.

Our energy efficiency projects are tailored to your budget, property, and goals. We encourage and welcome your questions and participation throughout the entire process.
